Don’t miss the 2018 Summer Days which will be a chance to learn about and discuss developments in the international situation regarding debt and talk to activists from several parts of the world.
Ten years on from the 2008 financial collapse, nothing has been done to bring some order to the international financial system and avoid other banking crises. The debt system has pervaded European economies after States poured hundreds of billions of euros into bank bail-outs. Public debt is used as a pretext to intensify the neoliberal agenda by imposing the privatization of public services after systematically dismantling them. In every sphere of daily life, private debt is suffocating populations: the microcredit scam, abusive terms on mortgage
Mortgage
A loan made against property collateral. There are two sorts of mortgages:
1) the most common form where the property that the loan is used to purchase is used as the collateral;
2) a broader use of property to guarantee any loan: it is sufficient that the borrower possesses and engages the property as collateral.
loans, student debt linked to the ending of free higher education, and so on. Inequality is growing all around the world.
Resistance is under way, both at European and international levels, through multiple initiatives to oppose austerity and illegitimate debt. It is time to construct concrete solutions and alternatives to capitalism by pushing forward resistance to the neoliberal offensive.
For over 20 years, the CADTM has been providing in-depth analysis of the debt system which serves capitalist domination in the North and the South. The Summer Days will be an opportunity to think about a variety of topics, such as the struggle to construct a Europe for the people, how banks function and the need to socialize them, environmental debt, citizens’ debt-auditing, new creditors like China, international financial institutions and the activities of the international CADTM network outside Europe.
The programme includes two plenary sessions, workshops combining case-studies with proposals for alternatives, a film projection and other musical and festive events!
